Frequently Asked Questions

What is nCache™ 4.0?

nCache™ 4.0 is Western Digital’s proprietary caching technology that uses a hybrid SLC (Single-Level Cell) cache to absorb large amounts of data at high speed, which then gets flushed to the main TLC NAND. This process helps the drive achieve its incredible sequential and random performance figures.

Why is this version better for laptops?

This is the “Without Heatsink” model. Laptops have very limited internal space, and this low-profile version is designed to fit into the compact M.2 slots found in modern laptops and small form-factor PCs without a bulky heatsink causing clearance issues.
